A current of 1.5 A is passed for 2 hours through an aqueous solution of \(\mathrm{Pd} \mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{n}}\) where X is a monovalent anion. During the electrolysis process 2.977 g of Palladium metal gets deposited at the cathode. Calculate the charge on Pd ions. (Atomic mass of Pd \(=106.4 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mol}\) ).

  1. A \(\mathrm{n}=4\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{n}=2\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{n}=3\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{n}=6\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{n}=4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The total charge \(Q\) passed through the solution is given by \(Q = I \times t\). Given \(I = 1.5\) A and \(t = 2\) hours \(= 2 \times 3600\) s \(= 7200\) s. \(Q = 1.5 \times 7200 = 10800\) C. The number of moles of electrons passed is…
